I think my poor 3.8L has had it after only 132K miles :(
The oil pressure is about 20 when I start the car but after it gets warmed up it goes to about 0 and the check gauges light comes on. Then I can hear the lifters ticking from lack of oil. Surprisingly I don't hear any knocking and the motor even seems fine when I first start it up cold. I think it needs a new oil pump but I don't think I can put any more money into this tired motor. That sucks. I liked my V6 Camaro daily driver.
